City demographics and crime profile in Chicago
Chicago is a large and attractive city in the United States. In this paper, we shall discuss the
demographics of the city and analyze its criminal profile. It will link the city's social and
intellectual contexts and more precisely come up with the factor that might be elevating the
crime in the city. It will describe some of the beliefs that people who live in Chicago conform to
that contribute to the way they live. Explaining why their attitudes are fixed towards behavior
that promotes crime (Barton, 2016). Some of the primary reasons that contribute to changes in
criminal behavior are on how people use public resources. Besides, the transportation system,
values of the property business, and retail as one tends to go by the countryside of the city.
Crime has recorded a long relationship mostly with the city of Chicago as a result of a political
faction. Politics plays a more significant role in the social life of ethnic group struggling to
survive in the urban slums. As a consequence of the link between labor and business activities,
which has made urban life more difficult and accompanied by lawlessness. The courts, criminal
institutions, and the police have conducted several actions in fight and support of these equally
(Jefferson, 2018). The police have sided with the politicians to bend the laws to win the favor of
security and bill. This lead to the elimination of some freedoms enjoyed by the people to create
room for criminal activities.
In most cases, criminal justice is reflected with regulation, rather the betterment of the illegal
activity. Civic leaders, on the other hand, have campaigned against law and order for the modern
city. These campaigns have exposed much concerning the values of the reforms, together with
the structure of the urban community.
